<p>I agree that it is vital to your wellbeing to be proud, or at least feel no shame, about being atheist. If you treat yourself internally like you're just as "righteous" or upstanding as anyone else who holds a more tolerated worldview, it effects how you come off to others and how they treat you in return. I think there's a line to be crossed with pride, though. I've interacted with quite a few atheists who cross over into arrogance.</p>

<p>Pity, I think. I look at them like those people that had throat cancer or something and still smoke through a hole in their neck. So I think the pity keeps me from madness.</p>

<p>First of all, I agree with Gallup's Mirror that humor is a big part of it. However, I also just say, they have their views and are free to post about them, and I have my views and am free to post about them. I share a lot of atheist pictures to my wall, so I don't get mad at others' posts as long as they are not exceptionally stupid, like when people blame horrible tragedies on God punishing the America for being too secular.</p>

<p>General apathy to the whole scheme. Focus on myself and my values, laugh whenever I can, and when I can't, I slaughter things in Skyrim.</p>
